The Seymareh (Persian: سیمره) is a river in southwestern Iran formed by the confluence of the Gharehsoo and Ghamasiab rivers in an area around southwest Kermanshah.{{cite web|title=Seimare Project|url=http://en.iwpco.ir/Seimare/default.aspx|publisher=IWPCO|accessdate=4 July 2011}} Seymareh converges with Kashkan just before the historical Gavmishan Bridge near Darreh Shahr to create Karkheh River, an important river in Iran. The change of names from Seymareh to Karkheh is sometimes also considered farther downstream (at the mouth of Zal river at the border of the Khuzestan province).TV documentation [https://www.aparat.com/v/6FZnb?playlist=235633 Ba Seymareh, episode 22] (Farsi)

The Seymareh Dam, a 480MW hydroelectric power station is located on the lower course of Seymareh near Cheshmeh Shirin, Darreh Shahr.
